Action day National Park for everyone: A festival of inclusion in Spiegelau!

A radiant day in the forest game area in Spiegelau caused happy faces on July 16, 2025. Over 500 visitors from schools and disabled facilities came together to take part in the day of the action under the motto "National Park for everyone". The organizers had set up a colorful program that offered a lot of fun and learning for young and old. In her speech, national park manager Ursula Schuster emphasized the immense importance of accessibility and thanked the committed supervisors and sponsors without whom this initiative would not have been possible. Thus, those responsible set a strong sign of inclusion and participation.

Holger Kiesel, the disabled representative of the Bavarian state government, was on site as a guest of honor and praised the organizers' great commitment. The deputy district administrator Franz Brunner also found clear words about the importance of inclusion, while Mayor Karlheinz Roth was obviously happy that the day of action has returned to his roots in Spiegelau. The day was characterized by mutual exchange and joy - a real festival of the community.

diverse offers for all

The organizers around Lukas Laux from the National Park and Christian Fiebig from the district office had thought of everything when planning. 20 stalls offered different activities, including an exciting forest quiz, a barefoot path and feelings that brought visitors closer to the facets of the forest. This variety of offers was not only entertaining, it also promoted the understanding of nature and beauty of the Bavarian Forest National Park.

But also beyond the event, the national park has made up for a lot to ensure accessibility. The tree top path and the tree tower in the national park for wheelchair users and people with disabilities are accessible. In addition, a palpable leader was installed, which supports visually impaired people in particular, and all facilities in the national park as well as the National Park Centers Falkenstein and Lusen are accessible. This goes hand in hand with the vision of making nature tangible for everyone-a challenge that National Park boss takes seriously by catching feedback from those affected to further improve the offer. bayerischer-wald.de reports that the circular route on the plant and rock free area is also barrier-free and is also available with great experience.

a place for inclusion

The connection between nature conservation and inclusion remains a central topic in the Bavarian Forest. More and more facilities are working on anchoring accessibility in their offer. In this way, visitors to the Upper Bavarian Forest Nature Park can also use barrier -free holiday opportunities that are expanded by warm hosts. Bayerischer-wald.org emphasizes that many attractions have been checked and have been awarded the “Travel for everyone” seal. It is important not only to eliminate structural barriers, but to create real inclusion for people with disabilities.
